Summary/Abstract: Baudelaire is considered to be one of the most important theoreticians of dandyism, closing the French triad of the incomplete attempt to define this phenomenon started in 1830 with Balzac’s “Traite de le vie elegante” developed by Barbey D’Aurevilly in 1842 with his “Du Dandysme et du George Brummell” and crowned by Baudelaire in 1863 with his “Le Peintre de la vie Moderne”.
